Great awards ceremony. I am glad that all of the young people were recognized for their efforts against Voldemort.

I've read 11 chapters so far and this is honestly the best HP FF I've ever read. You stayed so true to the characters, your writing style is very similar to JK Rowling's, and the story so far is very believable, and at times heartbreaking. Poor George :(

That was a beautiful chapter. Your story constantly keeps getting better chapter by chapter. It was wonderful that all the DA members were presented with medals as all of them deserve it - well, apart from Zacharias Smith and Cho Chang as I don't like them much. I wonder what chaos is taking place at the Burrrow. I'm a little nervous and I hope nothing too horrible has happened.

I figured that they'd all get medals too. At least, if they didn't, I would have been rather surprised.
Nice cliffie!

A really good way of handling the medal ceremony, however one error I noticed was that you included Zacharias Smith in it.Granted he may have been a member of the DA but in name only. Remember when it came to the actualy battle he left and not in a distingished way, but by pushing overfirst years in his haste to escape

Author's Response: oops ... :P I just grabbed the list off Lexicon I guess I needed to pay proper attention lol

So MUCH to squee about in this chapter. Of course, I loved Harry completely snogging Ginny on the Order of Merlin dais. It was just perfect... And the thing with the book, the way he wrote "Ginny Weasley is my Chosen One!" completely melted my heart into a shadow of its former self. You totally get the fluff award, my darling. For no one does it like you.

The scene where Ginny completely breaks down about Fred is made of win though. I think I've read this part of this fic before, though, because I remember that scene. It definitely made an impression on me when I first read it, and it continues to do so. It's just so right... And it certainly nails the grieving process right on its head. Grief sneaks up on you when you're least expecting it.

And I love how Harry is handling his responsibility, at least in the direct aftermath of the Final Battle. He's definitely growing up.

Although, I will say I'm with Molly Weasley on this one, I'm not sure how good an idea sending Ginny with Harry to Australia is... I can see why Harry wouldn't want to be separated from her... but at some point, they are going to have to go their separate ways. Unless you plan to send Harry back to Hogwarts? Otherwise, they've got another year of long-distance to look forward to... in any case, that will be interesting.

Wonderful job, my dear, as always. You've definitely got me intrigued!

Author's Response: I proudly display my fluff award (even though i am pretty sure I made a grammatical gaffe). Grief sure does suddenly sneak up on you the strangest things get to you sometimes! Kezza keeps her lips sealed about where Harry is going and what he is doing for the next year ... :P



Reviewer: wotcherberta Signed Date: 2008.09.19 - 10:33PM Title: Ceremony

i know why they are going to austrailia, but i wonder why all of them have to go, i suppose it has nothing to do with the fact the you come from there!!!!!! hee hee - why not, use a bit of your own knowledge and add it into the mix!!!! at least you will get all your facts right!!!

Author's Response: *looks shifty* No no, nothing to do with having them all on my home turf ... it as partly cos it fitted with what I wanted to say and partly (mostly) for pure entertainment lol. It entertained me to create a Magical Australai :D - You'll see!



Reviewer: WickedLoz Signed Date: 2007.09.10 - 09:58AM Title: Ceremony

Now you have me worried about your last response - will Harry, Hermione and the Weasleys get into Australia or be held up in Detention and needing QC Julian Burnside's help?! Speaking of Burnside, he was a guest lecturer at my Uni the other week, hence why I am cheering you're making this fiction so political!! All we need now is for the Chaser boys to get involved!

And speaking of December Boys - I went to the Melbourne premiere last night, and it is SO GOOD!!!

Oh, and I'm going to review Ch. 13 now because it's easier and I'm lazy - I love Teddy!! And poor Harry, he can be so stubborn sometimes, I hope Ginny isn't mad with him for too long!! :)

Author's Response: Oh don't get me started on APEC...As for our heroes getting held up in Detention? I doubt it, they are White and British with the proper documentation for legal entry signed by the Minister of Magic himself! They could only be more welcome if they arrived on Air Force One! *Australian reviewers sense Author is not John Howard fan*

Stupid Melbourne and it's stupid premieres...it was filmed in South Australia you know! The premiere should have been here so I could have gone! *Author is bitter over Australian regional rivalry* Seriously Melbourne is lovely and grown women and mothers don't go and faint over 18yo movie stars anyway *pouts*

Back to the actual fic and the reason we are all here...yes Teddy is cute and Ginny...is Ginny mad? She'll be mad at him for as long as it takes me to tweak Chapter 14 I suspect... ;)

'Hermione had researched and discovered that Australians were a little particular about who and how they let people into the country'

Ouch!
... Yet so true.
Did you intend to mention such a hot political topic? If so, good on you, although in Muggle life English people are mostly always welcomed..

And why do they have to go to the Sydney airport - Melbourne kicks butt!!

Enough of my Aussie pride: excellent chapter with brilliant Harry/Ginny moments, yet I want more! You also made me cry again when Harry awarded Dennis then George.. So sad.

Author's Response: You betcha the hot political comment was intentional! Although...did you hear they have closed Baxter Detention Centre? Yee ha! Imagine what I could do if I really put my mind to it though...the whole pure blood thing and the indigenous genocide...ok enough politcal ganrdstanding and back to our reularly scheduled programming...

Okay so I said in a review of Nineteen Years that I agreed everyone overdoes Sydney and then I realised that in winter 1998 I was living in...SYDNEY! And the fact that I happened to actually go to Kingsford Smith in August of 1998 really sort of clinched my decision. Whether we like it or not Sydney is the stupid drawcard for tourism...damn coathnager bridge...Yackandandah is in Victoria though! Because Victoria is Beeeeeeeyootiful! I know Melbourne kicks butt - I lived there for 5 years. I miss Melbourne *dissolves in mass hysterical tears of homesickness*.

More Harry/Ginny moments? Coming right up, stay tuned :D . I also just finsihed a rather touching and brilliant (if I do say so myself) moment between Harry and Mr Weasley for chapter 15. I've been stuck on it for days and today it just came to me...at the expense of my University education I might add!

**Author scurries off to *stop* watching (and drooling over) David Tennant in Dr Who, Rove interviews with Dan Radcliffe, checking Hoyts website for December Boys Session screening times and writing fanfiction when she should be doing dry and boring although vitally important) stuff re: White Australia Policy and devestating imapct of same on today's Indigenous society**

"Ron shook his head and Hermione, taking a look at the cover gave Harry a long winded lecture about the care of books and how one does not write on them, thank you very much!"

LOL. I loved everything about this chapter. Everyone was so in character. I really hope you continue this for the whole nineteen years. If you don't thats okay too. This alone is a great work! Can't wait for more. :)

Author's Response: Nineteen years is a big challenge and a huge committment...we'll see I guess it might take me more than nineteen years to write that lol So far I'm looking at a year for this story. If I still have things to say, and I very well might, then perhaps a sequel will be in order...but that's really jumping the gun... ;)

HAHAHAHA good ol' australia.
that weird citizenship dictation thing? they're going to make it part of the test? - we did it in school and nooone got a perfect score. i don't get how the hell they think foreigners are supposed to. that's just nuts. =
WHOA! THE INTERNET MAKES AN APPEARANCE IN HARRY POTTER! I was waiting for the day they'd figure out that msn and myspace are soo much better than freakin birds carrying your mail... seriously... =p i'm glad you've knocked some sense into hermione at least.
You make me cry too much with this fic. The emotions you convey are absolutely amazing, I loved the medal ceremony. I love how Harry is growing up and realising things - you're writing it so well.
Aaargh what's the chaos? Is it Molly and Arthur like... knocking over furniture in an effort to make it to a bed... or is it something scary, lol. I'm thinking it's the former because more of the latter would be too sad.
Can't wait for the next update! =]

Author's Response: Australia is very picky about who gets in...that's like real man...;)

I do't think hermione is going to start reling on myspace lol but it's helpful for Muggle stuff. Don't forget though that in 1998 the internet was only just really taking off on a general level. I got my hotmail account in 1998 or 1999 and it's without numbers...ar rare thing these days. So, she didn't find much on the internet but she could email Australia because seriously - even airmail OZ-UK takes over a week. I needed things like...quicker!

Buy some tissues ;) There is knocked over furniture...but that's all I'm going to say about that :D

I often update on Fridays...should I update on Friday???????

Wonderful story! It is definitely the best Post-DH fanfic that I have ever read. I laughed and cried. I love your portrayal of Ginny and Harry's relationship.

I can't wait for the next chapter!

Author's Response: Thank you :) I hope the next chapter is worth the wait!

"They stumbled into chaos." Good cliffhanger. :)

Author's Response: Everyone seems hung up on the cliffhanger...

Ahhhh! How dare you leave us with such a cliff hanger??? What do you mean CHAOS??? Do you mean them all falling overthemselves, tipsy or something more worrysome??? oh please, PLEASE update asap and don't leave us in suspense!!!

Author's Response: Do I mean them falling all over themselves tipsy....? Ummmmmm No :D

I really love your story...it is the best "after DH"-story I found so far. I like how you are showing Harrys emotions. But I am a little bit dissatisfied with this chapter. You forgot an important honorable member of the DA: Dobby. Who told Harry about a place where they could train. Who warned them that Umbridge was coming. Who fought and gave his life for Harry.

Author's Response: Never occured to me, sorry! I guess we can't all think of everything! I'm glad you're mostly enjoying the story though. Thanks for reviewing!
